Great Rob!! Takes me back to the good old Friday Live Show days. I love the story of Emma, where you gave a lot of detail I didn’t know from your book and show. You’ve mentioned John a couple of times too, and I know exactly the kind of studentw you mean. He seems to be getting on great, especially if he’s nailed a Bm barre chord. Very inspiring, thank you very much. Your whole outlook and method resonates with me so much The videos are really well done too.
Hi Rob. Thanks for sharing this mini course! You’re right, my mind is filled with all kinds of ideas right now. And it helps to narrow things down to one small goal. I’m a piano teacher in a small town in Michigan. My goal is to get my students playing some mini-concerts this fall…just in small groups of students for starters and definitely playing songs that they like!
Finally getting to this, sorry about the delay. This sounds like a great plan. Now that you’re enrolled in the course (so great to have you!), we can work together to apply what you’re learning to the mini-concerts you have in mind. There’s so much you can do to enhance an experience like this. Can’t wait!
I have a country-themed recital coming up next month. We are going to be on an outdoor stage on a horse ranch, so I encouraged all of my students to learn a country song. I’ve been trying different themed recitals this year for the first time, and it has been a big hit. I did movie songs in a movie theater last time. I mostly teach piano, some voice, band instruments and cello, too. So… my one change I’m going to make is to ask some awesome musician friends of mine who are also teachers to be a house band… Read more »
Wonderful! You shows sound like so much fun. Movie songs in a movie theater…country songs on a horse ranch…the right venue can make it magical.
Figuring out whether beginners will play in a band can be tricky. If the song will sound best that way, and they seem open to it, and they can afford the higher cost, I’ll often teach total beginners how to play with a band in my private lessons
Please tell me how your next concert goes!
Hey Rob. Great work on these videos. I’m going to try to get some friends of mine to play along with students at our next performance. Something simple like maybe a bass and/or guitar player to join the piano students.
SWEET! Please let me know if you run into any road blocks as you plan. Happy to help any way I can. And lemme know how it goes!
Glad you dug the course.
